I have absolutely no attachment to the name. It was the first thing
that came to mind.
I assume that Rachel's suggestion comes from her association of
steps(n, end) with meaning "eat the end of the animation" (and
likewise for "start"), so "none" is reasonable in that sense. I'm not
sure it makes sense if your understanding comes from the spec's
explanation, though, where "end" means "transitions all at once at the
end of the step".
Another possibility is just a new function. I'm not sure what I'd
want to name it, though.
